Has Fox wore out his welcome???

I watched the Cards game. I don't remember Fox getting mad about the fact that neither our offensive or defensive gameplan was working. Seems to me that if the person in charge didn't like what he saw, he'd have said something. Maybe Davidson and Trgo were doing what they were told.

It's tough because I really like John Fox. He worked a miracle in 2003 and I think some of us owe it to him to keep him around.

However,(In a Stephen A. Smith Voice) I look at what happened with us last year and I look at what happened to the Patriots this year. Last year we lost Jake and I honestly think there were guys on the team that mailed it in. You look at the Pats losing their number 1 player, the MVP and so called best QB ever and they take a guy who hadn't started since high school and still win 11 games.

This team has a lot of talent and after the loss the the Cards I thought to myself hey stuff happens but the more I think about it there does need to be a change. I mean look at the absolute gold mine the Steelers fell into. I swear Mike Tomlin could talk me into suiting up a running through a brick wall. I think John Fox has lost the killer instinct he had when he arrived. I don't know if Fox needs to go the more I think about it maybe Cowher would light a fire under these guys but regardless we need a new DC. I mean Cowher went to Championship games with Kordell Stewart and Neil O' Donell. I mean Kordell and Jonathan are brothers...

It would suck. Unnecessary turmoil within the team could certainly wreck the fine players we have. Also, what would we expect of a new coach? If we told any prospects that hey, you better lead this team to a better record than 12-4 and then go deep in the playoffs your first year, they'd all run for the exit.

I honestly like Fox as a coach, but my trust IN HIM and my Faith in his ability to do whats right for this team in dissapearing.

I dont need a coach who air the laundry out to the media, but in a business where the fans pay the way it would be nice to understand the direction the team is going.

I am just tired with his pridefull "it is what it is, I will do it my way, they practice too" mentality.

It sounds crazy after a 12-4 season, but Its always the same arguements for and against Fox.

I will give him 1 more season, if he cant string together at least another winning season he has to go IMO.

We have way too much talent.

      TBH, these are the kind of players that get weeded out of professional sports pretty quickly. Also, CMC is not that guy. There is zero indication that he isn't competitive.

      Teddy Checkdown in trouble

      I like the free agency. It actually helps basically all schools across the board. Pretty much only ancient HC's and/or HC's that haven't been able to adjust have been complaining about the free agency. Your fortunes can be made or broken every offseason. It's not like before where a bad recruiting class or two meant multiyear purgatory.  I will never understand all the bellyaching about the NIL. If you want to talk about what ruined college athletics, it has been naked greed. Conference expansions for TV revenue, ever skyrocketing AD and facilities costs and now the attempts to permanently ruin the postseasons(football and basketball).  All the kids did was get a very well deserved piece of a very, very, VERY broken pie.

      Scourton isn't signed (& apparently it's a thing)

      Nobody is saying they don't count against the cap, because yes, they technically do count against the cap as it's money the team is paying and it needs to be accounted for. But what you're not grasping it seems is that if a player gets $10 million guaranteed in their contract, whether they get literally $0 as a signing bonus or $8 million as a signing bonus, it doesn't change the overall cap hit of the contract, because cap hits are about the guaranteed money, not how much is paid up front. The only thing that how much is paid up front changes, is how the cap hit can be spread out amongst the years. So yes, technically there could end up being a slightly bigger cap hit in year 3 and 4 due to a bigger signing bonus, but if that is the case, it also means there will be a lesser cap hit in years 1 and 2 than there would have been with a smaller bonus.  But over the length of the contract, the size of the signing bonus has literally zero affect on the overall cap hit of the contract, because THAT part of it is 100% about the guaranteed money and nothing else.
